Funeral Address,

The following is the closing address of
Rev. N. j. Koran, on the occasion of the
burial of Miss Annie Grouder, published
by request of the friends of the deceased
Eternal rest give unto her q Lord and
let perpetual light shine upon her
Such, dear brethren are the words Just
now recited In the office of the dead And
since God by decree of his divine provi-
dence has called her to himself, her whom
he cher shed and loved best; all that re-
mains for us, Is to bow in silent but fer
vent prayer and ask for the peaceful re-
pose of her soul, and thank the Lord for
having called us to religion whose char
ity and zeal extends itself beyond the
limit of our mortal lives.
Yes brethren, we should deem ourselves
happy in being the children of n church,
which, after closing our eyes here below.
is solicitous to assist us in the other
world. Some who share not in our belief
think no more of their brethren, once
they cease to see them. Their SoliCitudc
reaches no farther than the grave; but
the Catholic church, that plaintive dove
and beloved spouse of Jesus Christ, does
not intermit her signs and her prayers I'M
til she has placed us in the bosom of eter-
nal happiness. Her charity embraces all
the members of Christ it maintains a
mutual intercourse between, and engages
her to share b9'h the miseries and afee-
tions, the comforts and blessings, of all
that are comprised in her communion
Let us then as it is a holy pious, and a
salutary custom, to aid and encourage the
soul as far as its spiritual welfare is con-
cerned, daily offer up prayers for the suf-
fering soul of her whose mortal rmans
are before us, and release it, should it
have been hindered from soaring higher
by the purifying flames of Pnrgatory.
The judgments of God are impenetrable.
we cannot understand them. The bright
est sparks of our feeble intellect do not
suffice to clear up the mysteries Let Us
then pray and hope that all has been done
for the better, and leave to Divine Provi-
dence the care of guiding the course of
events Let us join with tie PSalmist
and exclaim: o Father of mercics, q
Lord of all consolation, inspire us with
sentiments of compassion for all our dis
tressed and suffering members. Have pity
we beseech o God in the name, and for
the sake of Jesus thy beloved Son on the
souls of all the faithful departed. Deliver
them from the temporal punishment justly
due to their past sins. Eternal rest give
unto them o Lord, and let perpetual light
shine upon them. Admit them, and es-
pecially the soul of her here present, we
pray Thee, into Thy heavenly Kingdom
and to participation of that endless glory
for which thou hast created them. in the
name of the Father and the Son and the
Holy Ghost amen.

Mr.. c. A.Coleman of the Carney House,
Moscow, is building fine house at Carry
Pond, for the accommodation of sporters.
1t will be two stories high and will ac-
comodate about thirty-live. This with
the houses already there, which will be
kept for parties wishing to be by them

of the kind in the State All persons Civ
ing this place trial will be more than

The Successful LnwYer.

No person is so pcstered by tho cranks as a
lawyer whose name appears often in the pub
lie prints in connection with important cases
Every mail brings him correspondence which
refers to cases of the most desperate magni.
tude. and tho worst of it is that they are
mostly SO clevcrly written that one cannot
detect the crankiness in them. I've had
criminal cases put to me in this way and if
such cases ever existed they would be the
marvel of the legal world, plots of murder
and other crime which rivaled anything ever
written In fiction. My latest visitor was a
man who wanted to sue the municipality Of
Quincy, Ills, for $500, 600, for fracture Of

The Railroad Conductors Corns.

A funny thing came under the observation
of a reporter the other W. lilo was talking
to Conductor Parkinson, when the latter
pulled out pencil and made railroad note
in his memorandum book. This book and the
pencil used by Mr.. Parkinson brought up the
subject of corns in peculiar way. 1t was
sharpened with a four sided point instead Of
being round.
"What's that fort" asked the reporter.
"Oh, nothing just freak of minc But
look ut that finger.p
"What's the matter with the fingerY"
"DoE't you see that coin2"
"Wcll, how did it como there9"
"By writing on the train"
IL don't have any corns on my fingers, 1"
suggested the reporter.
"You don't havo to. You see, writing on
the train while it is in motion is no easy job,
and to write ut all intelligibly you have to
grip the pencil as tight as wise Nearly all
OF us have these corns"
Tho conductors right middle finger, OH tho
left side. had slick, fat, hard corn on it,
exactly like one caused from a tight SHOE

Taste In Household Decorations.

Speaking OF portiercs, it is now the fashion
to utilize old family shawls in this way Old
Grape or India shawls make lovely curtains
1t is an advantageous way of displaying these
hcirlooms, ond it is all the prettier not to have
any two alike.
For instance, not long ago | called on q
certain lady noted for her excellent taste in
household decoration At the door hung a
white Grape shawl embroidered with roses
At another an India shawl of exquisite work
manship hung, while ut still another was
black Grape shawl covered with white silk
embroidery.
1t is no longer in good taste to have a regu-
larly made mantel lambrequin; they are too
set and stiff in appearance. The prettiest is q
bit of some art fabric, purchasablo of our
best upholstercrs.
An old Grape shawl, carelessly thrown
upon the mantelpiece, is very pretty. A
japanese robe of bright colors is pretty on n
mantel, so arranged that the shelves of the
mantel are overhung at each end by the robe,
which should be 80 draped as to display the
bright silk lining. The appearance of stiff
ness is avoided in every style of decorative
draping, which oftentines show the taste, in
dividuality and skill of the lady whose be.
longings they are.-Evelyn Baker Harvier In

An Immigrants Rapid Rise.

New York is a city of ups and downs, and
pretty lively ones at that AS rule the
downs are & ood deal more sudden than the
ups, but sometimes the ups are rapid enough
to be called phenomenal The rise of young
man who is now defendant in suit for linl-
itcd divorce is a striking case in point. His
name is Robert Mcbride and the papers say
he owns over hundred tea stores in New
York and several other cities A man with
SO many stores to loo, after can't have much
time for home life, and this may be one rea-
son why Che multifarious tea merchants wife
wants divorce, with plenty of alimony, of
course. The rise of Robert Mcbride is really
remarkable. His age is about s. and his wife
is 25. 1t is only about fifteen years since he
landed i'll New York from Ireland. His pock-
cts were empty and he was glad to get en-
ployment i'll n tea store.
How ho rose from clerk to owner, and then
rapidly expanded into proprietor of a hun
dred stores, it would take too long to tell.
-Four years ago he married into a New
York family of good social position After
tho marriage ceremony the couple hold u
stylish reception at Delmonico's. Mcbride
then bought $75, 900 Fifth avenue house and
installed his bride there. They made tour
of Europe, saw all the sights and had the
best time that money could buy In few
years the unknown Irish immigrant had mar
ried New York BELLE taken leading place
among merchants and was established in a
fashionable home on Fifth avenue. Pretty
rapid progress, that New York is often said
to be terribly ovcrcrowded, but there il al
ways room for men who know how to push
ahcad-or at any rate they make room for
themsclves.-New York Cor Detroit Free

Too Much "To-MOrrow.o

A hotel clerk, who canse down here from
New York, said that he had tackled this evil
bravely at first sd had laid down the law in
the most approved style, but "manana" had
been too much for him. Said he: "This
laundry business has made me sicker than
anything ever struck in the hotel line. Do
you know how work the laundry part of
the business nowa Three days before u
guests clothes havo been promised him |
begin sending after them. l start mes
senger out to the laundiress morning, noon
and night, each time with a little stronger
message than before. About the end of the
second day | send word that want those
clothes, washed or unwashed, wet or dry.
The next morning the laundress arrives with
her basket under her arm. Mexican Letter

The Idiots Not All Dead.

When will the idiots cease to address each
other rs babys Every scandal suit, every
breach of promise case, develops this silli-
ness
The only time | ever really enjoyed hear
ing woman called baby was few years
ago on the platform of the Ieavenworth
,lepot. Miss Susan b. Anthony, as grim
featured as the unwinking Sphinx amid the
-ands of Egypt, was grimly seeking amid
pile of baggage for the old trunk that con-
tanned her vestments, when an irreverent
railroad employee camo up and said: "What's
tho matter, baby-lost your trunkg" l shall
never forget the DISCRIMINATING look of that
old warrior as she turned her spectacles on
him. But that's the only time ever saw or
heard woman resent the appellation, though
she might DO so years old and weigh 200
pounds.-Clara Belle in Pittsburg Dispatch.
